real white carbon fiber

So i wrapped my interior dash trim with some 3m 1080 white carbon fiber and it came out pretty great but i just wish it had that real look to it...the shiny/epoxy and resin look....ive done some browsing around and didnt find anything conslusive so does anyone on here have any guidance towards anything/anyone who either sells the pieces like i would want, OR can have me ship them to them and have them done? Someone with some backing and high reviews?
Any help would be great guys,
As always thanks in advance!

You could coat them in a high gloss clear coating.

You can't use a coating, it loses the carbon look. I have tried it. You will just have to contact a carbon specialty company if you want real CF.

The real stuff is either carbon, kevlar, or a mixture to be colored. It goes on like fiberglass with the material and a resin.

You can do it yourself if you arent worried about it. Or you can find a shop to do it. I doubt you will find them already made.
